Scan photo cost nhs... how much was yours?

I’ve just had my scan letter and it says that if I want a picture of the scan it will cost me £15!!!!!! Whaaaaat?! This is my fifth and I remember my first was free, second £3, third £5, 4th was £10 which was only 3 years ago but it’s gone up to £15!!!! How much was/is yours?

It’s £10 for two pics and £18 for 4 here. It’s the same as my last one 3 years ago I think. Last time I paid for them at the anomaly scan but the sonographer couldn’t complete the all the checks because baby wasn’t co-operating. We went back at 22 weeks and decided not to pay for photos again as we had some nice ones and as she was doing the scan baby started sucking his thumb. The sographer just said ‘ok you have to have a picture of that’ and printed some out for us. She just told me to keep them out of sight as we walked out 😂
